If it is done where all players can see it, then it is not secret diplomacy. I think that ClapMan should be advised to use game chat, but it looks like he did already.

This isn't true. The conversation should always be in game chat. It isn't the other player's responsibility to be checking everyone's wall, signing on to live chat, ect.

Rule #2: No secret diplomacy

Any form of diplomatic discussion between opponents must be posted in the game chat in English or in a language that all opponents understand.

You made this report at 7:30, then told him to use game chat at 9:30 ish, in which case he started using it.

Could have told him first, and saved a C&a report... but what if you wouldn't have caught him? He is still breaking the rules whether caught or not.

I dont' know... Light noodle lashing?

The integrity of this game has been compromised by using a wall as a communication point. If it had been posted in "Game Chat" I may have had the opportunity to offer a truce to Chelslife, or make a case for an alternate strategy. I'd prefer it if the game itself was nuked to avoid any further controversy, or frustration on the part of any involved party.

well they ain't gonna nuke the game. but you have a point. probably a warning..

well we didnt catch this in time and the OP withdrew the accusation.

If you feel there is a violation in this case and want to report it please do so in a new thread or via an E-Ticket.

Clearly there was some secret diplomacy involved in this case, as noted in previous posts, but I withdrew the complaint my preference was to whoop the cheater in the game, which I did.
